Dishes washed cold or not drying? Check the dishwasher heater

The heater raises the wash water to the temperature each program calls for, and on many models it also helps with the final rinse and drying. Elements fail by burning open, which leaves the water cold, or by shorting to earth, which can trip the safety switch as soon as heating starts. Typical signs are greasy dishes, detergent left undissolved in the dispenser, wet dishes at the end, a cycle that runs far longer than normal, or a heating fault code on the display.

Fitting the heater

Turn the dishwasher off at the wall, close the tap and pull the unit out. Depending on the model, the heater is reached from underneath or from behind. Photograph the wiring before releasing the old element, then seat the new O-ring evenly so it cannot leak. If the dishwasher is hard-wired, a licensed electrician should do the job. Run a short hot program and check for drips before pushing it back in.

Questions about this part

Is the O-ring included?

Yes. This heater is supplied with an O-ring, and a new one should always be used when the element is changed. An old O-ring that has been squashed and heated for years will rarely seal properly a second time.
